Which Branch of Medicine?
When is it Homeopathic, when Nutritional?
It's not easy to know what to do at first. Right at the beginning of a case the doctor can give a well chosen homeopathic remedy and some basic nutrients that cover many bases. A good way to cover many nutritional bases at the same time is with well chosen multi vitamin/mineral supplement, like those sold only through practitioners and not in helath food stores, and instructing the patient to buy grass-fed meats only, restrict grains to rice only, use coconut and olive oils and butter and have plenty of plant produce and no more than two fruit a day. This will do a lot. But often the patient already eats this way (The Perfect Health Diet by Jaminet) and the crux of their complaints are based in feelings, not physical symptoms. This latter case is a ripe candidate for Homeopathic help.
We usually think of nutrition for physical cases and homeopathy for emotional/mental planes of action. But millions of emotional complaints have been dealt with by nutrition and the converse, millions upon millions of complaints have been dealt with by homeopathy. Homeopathy treats millions of people in Mexico, South America, Europe and India. The rest of the world is clueless!!
This morning I was consulting by skype with a 30 year old man who lives outside my area...his aninimity is therefore protected...and he, after we'd tested for gastric bacteria and parasites, vitamins, minerals, standard blood tests, heavy metal urine analysis, hormones and amino acids, is clearly now seen as a homeopathic case. All the above tests for physical explanations were negative. His complaints are causless anxiety and flights of fancy similar to the state reported by those taking anhalonium (peyote), yet he has always been drug free other than for some drinking times in college. We worked with brain formulas in the hopes that a deficiency there was responsible but to no avail. We worked with some homeopathics to make sure he wasn't blocked by a previous concussion and that the alcohol in college hadn't poisoned him. By the time I recommended he buy Arsenicul 30c from the local health food store...........voila! his life turned around. Eight months of depression were lifted and his anxiety is a fraction of what it was before.
Knowing when to use homeopathics and when to use nutrition does not have to make one of the two exclusionary. Why not use both concurrently at the same time? Once results are obtained, it's not difficult to know which modality was responsible....homeopathics usually work quickly and affect emotions right away, nutrients affect the body mostly and take longer.
I hope this helps.
